Bethesda Announces Release Date for Fallout: New Vegas Lonesome Road

Publisher also reveals that two additional content packs for the game are on the way.

In early August, Bethesda and Obsidian bumped the fourth DLC adventure for Fallout: New Vegas to an undisclosed date for an undisclosed reason. It appears those undisclosed issues have been resolved, because the publisher and developer disclosed today that Lonesome Road will be ready for download on September 20.

The rundown on Lonesome Road from Bethesda:

In Lonesome Road you are contacted by the original Courier Six, a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum Chip at the start of Fallout: New Vegas. Ulysses promises the answer as to why he didn't take the job, but only if you make one last journey into the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by earthquakes and violent storms. It's up to you to take the job or not.

And Lonesome Road won't be the final digital delivery for Fallout: New Vegas. Bethesda and Obsidian also announced that two additional DLC add-ons, Courier's Stash and Gun Runners' Arsenal, will be launched on September 27.

Courier's Stash gives players access to four content bundles previously available only through pre-ordering Fallout: New Vegas. The Caravan Pack, Classic Pack, Mercenary Pack, and Tribal Pack each offer unique weapons, apparel and aid advantages. The DLC will be sold for $1.99 or 160 Microsoft Points.

Gun Runners' Arsenal increases the range of unique weapons, weapon mods, ammo types and recipes waiting to be uncovered in the vast Mojave Wasteland. The pack will be priced at $3.99 or 320 MS Points.

Lonesome Road will be available for Windows PCs, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 simultaneously on September 20 for $10 or 800 MS Points.

Spy Guy says: After being so disappointed by Honest Hearts, I loved Old World Blues, and can't wait to head back to the Mojave Wasteland for Lonesome Road. Show of hands, though: how many of you experienced the system crashing bug after completing Old World Blues and trying to continue your New Vegas adventure?
